immutant.messaging — org.immutant/messaging 2.1.10

Easily publish and receive messages containing any type of nested data structure to dynamically-created queues and topics.

context clj

(context & options)

Creates a messaging context.

A context represents a remote or local connection to the messaging broker.

There are three reasons you would create a context rather than rely on the messaging functions to lazily create them as needed:

1. for communicating with a remote HornetQ instance
2. for sharing a context among a batch of messaging operations
3. for decoupling the client-id from the subscription name for durable topic subscriptions (see subscribe)

You are responsible for closing any contexts created via this function.

Options that apply to both local and remote contexts are [default]:

• :client-id - identifies the context for use with a durable topic subscriber (see subscribe) [nil]
• :xa? - if true, returns an XA context for use in a distributed transaction [false]
• :mode - one of: :auto-ack, :client-ack, :transacted. Ignored if :xa? is true. [:auto-ack]

Options that apply to only remote contexts are [default]:

• :host - the host of a remote broker [nil]
• :port - the port of a remote broker [nil, 5445 if :host provided]
• :username - a username for the remote broker [nil]
• :password - the corresponding password for :username [nil]
• :remote-type - when connecting to a HornetQ instance running inside WildFly, this needs to be set to :hornetq-wildfly [:hornetq-standalone]
• :reconnect-attempts - total number of reconnect attempts to make before giving up (-1 for unlimited) [0]
• :reconnect-retry-interval - the period in milliseconds between subsequent recontext attempts [2000]
• :reconnect-max-retry-interval - the max retry interval that will be used [2000]
• :reconnect-retry-interval-multiplier - a multiplier to apply to the time since the last retry to compute the time to the next retry [1.0]

listen clj

(listen destination f & options)

Registers a single-arity function f to handle messages published to destination.

If a :selector is provided, then only messages having metadata/properties matching that expression will be received.

If given a :context, the context must be remote, and the mode of that context is ignored, since it is used solely to generate sub-contexts for each listener thread. Closing the given context will also close the listener.

The following options are supported [default]:

• :concurrency - the number of threads handling messages [1 for topics, #cores for queues]
• :selector - A JMS (SQL 92) expression matching message metadata/properties [nil]
• :decode? - if true, the decoded message body is passed to f. Otherwise, the base message object is passed [true]
• :context - a context for a remote broker; caller expected to close [nil]
• :mode - the mode to use for the listener context. One of :auto-ack, :client-ack, :transacted [:transacted]

Note the default :mode is :transacted. This can lead to deadlock when publish or request is invoked in the handler, since they will attempt to participate in the listener's transaction, which won't be committed until the handler completes. In this case, use either :auto-ack or an XA context.

Returns a listener object that can be stopped by passing it to stop, or by calling .close on it.

publish clj

(publish destination message & options)

Send a message to a destination.

If message has metadata, it will be transferred as headers and reconstituted upon receipt. Metadata keys must be valid Java identifiers (because they can be used in selectors) and can be overridden using the :properties option.

If no context is provided, a new one is created for each call, which can be inefficient if you are sending a large number of messages.

The following options are supported [default]:

• :encoding - one of: :edn, :json, :none, or other codec you've registered [:edn]
• :priority - 0-9, or one of: :low, :normal, :high, :critical [4]
• :ttl - time to live, in millis [0 (forever)]
• :persistent? - whether undelivered messages survive restarts [true]
• :properties - a map to which selectors may be applied, overrides metadata [nil]
• :context - a context to use; caller expected to close [nil]

queue clj

(queue queue-name & options)

Establishes a handle to a messaging queue.

If given a :context, the context must be remote, and is remembered and used as a default option to any fn that takes a queue and a context.

This creates the queue if no :context is provided and it does not yet exist.

The following options are supported [default]:

• :context - a context for a remote broker. Cannot be specified with any other options. [nil]

Or:

• :durable? - whether messages persist across restarts [true]
• :selector - a JMS (SQL 92) expression to filter published messages [nil]

receive clj

(receive destination & options)

Receive a message from destination.

If a :selector is provided, then only messages having metadata/properties matching that expression may be received.

If no context is provided, a new one is created for each call, which can be inefficient if you are receiving a large number of messages.

The following options are supported [default]:

• :timeout - time in millis, after which the timeout-val is returned. 0 means wait forever, -1 means don't wait at all [10000]
• :timeout-val - the value to return when a timeout occurs. Also returned when a timeout of -1 is specified, and no message is available [nil]
• :selector - A JMS (SQL 92) expression matching message metadata/properties [nil]
• :decode? - if true, the decoded message body is returned. Otherwise, the base message object is returned [true]
• :context - a context to use; caller expected to close [nil]

request clj

(request queue message & options)

Send message to queue and return a Future that will retrieve the response.

Implements the request-response pattern, and is used in conjunction with respond.

It takes the same options as publish.

respond clj

(respond queue f & options)

Listen for messages on queue sent by the request function and respond with the result of applying f to the message.

Accepts the same options as listen, along with [default]:

• :ttl - time for the response mesage to live, in millis [60000 (1 minute)]

Note that listen and respond should not be called on the same queue.

stop clj

(stop x)

Stops the given context, destination, listener, or subscription listener.

Note that stopping a destination may remove it from the broker if called outside of the container.

subscribe clj

(subscribe topic subscription-name f & options)

Sets up a durable subscription to topic, and registers a listener with f.

subscription-name is used to identify the subscription, allowing you to stop the listener and resubscribe with the same name in the future without losing messages sent in the interim. The subscription is uniquely identified by the context's :client-id paired with the subscription name. If no :context is provided, a new context is created for this subscriber and the subscription name is used as the :client-id of the internally-created context. If a context is provided, it must have its :client-id set.

If a :selector is provided, then only messages having metadata/properties matching that expression may be received.

The following options are supported [default]:

• :selector - A JMS (SQL 92) expression matching message metadata/properties [nil]
• :decode? - if true, the decoded message body is passed to f. Otherwise, the javax.jms.Message object is passed [true]
• :context - a context to use; caller expected to close [nil]

Returns a listener object that can can be stopped by passing it to stop, or by calling .close on it.

Subscriptions should be torn down when no longer needed - see unsubscribe.

topic clj

(topic topic-name & options)

Establishes a handle to a messaging topic.

If given a :context, the context must be remote, and the context is remembered and used as a default option to any fn that takes a topic and a context.

This creates the topic if no :context is provided and it does not yet exist.

The following options are supported [default]:

• :context - a context for a remote broker [nil]

unsubscribe clj

(unsubscribe topic subscription-name & options)

Tears down the durable topic subscription on topic named subscription-name.

The subscription is uniquely identified by the context's :client-id paired with the subscription name. If no :context is provided, a new context is created for this subscriber and the subscription name is used as the :client-id of the internally-created context. If a context is provided, it must have its :client-id set to the same value given to the context passed to subscribe.

The following options are supported [default]:

• :context - a context to use; caller expected to close [nil]
